Video didn't impress me that much. The only reason i tried the game was because someone said the game was good on #clanbase.q3 channel.
I've played for 4 hours on some American server with 150 ping and just couldn't stop :)
I haven't changed my nick in the game since the first run, i still have [EU.slo] tag because i played on American server that night :)

Q3W is the abbreviation for Quake3World (http://www.quake3world.com/forum). Was the official forum for quake 3 but we're just a fun bunch now once you get used to us.

Title: Where did you hear about Tremulous?
Post by: Ksempac on June 05, 2006, 01:50:14 pm: For me it was Stumble Upon.

Because no one else mentioned it before, i m gonna explain what it is :

Stumble Upon (www.stumbleupon.com) is an extension for several browsers (Firefox, IE, and some others...). When you register, you define some topics you like among the 500 topics offered (photography, video games, medieval history, war in Irak, etc...). Then you can click on the SU button in the SU toolbar, and it will get you to a website related to one of your favorite topics. The websites are proposed by others users. So they are most often very interesting.

I discovered hundreds of fun, interesting or informative website thanks to SU. It s really an original way to discover the Internet...once you start stumbling, you re hooked on the thing ;)

Title: Where did you hear about Tremulous?
Post by: IFinland on June 18, 2006, 01:22:19 am: I found out of this game when I was browsing the most popular 'new technic magazine' of Finland, MikroBitti (www.mikrobitti.fi), and in the games section of the magazine I saw Tremulous shining at the position of "Game of the Month". And what took my curiosity was that I saw that this game was a modification from Q3A, which I play also, the most.
I quoted the text from word to word. :) (of course, translated into english first ;) )

Quote from MikroBitti, MB (c) Magazine:
"Game of the Month"
Quote
Tremulous
Originally Quake III Arena modification released Tremulous is a team based game which connects impressively realtime strategy into a FPS game. Players can either choose to be a spacemarine or an squishy alien, and both teams mission is a complete elimination of the opposing force. Battles are long and bloody, because it also requires to destroy enemy structures to win. Unlike all else internet FPS games, Tremulous requires a very good teamplaying from it's players. Protecting life vital buildings is more important than gathering points in the scoreboard, and it's more effective to proceed with a team than alone. The experience points gained from kills can be used to buy new weapons or improve to a greater alien.

Well, I can't really vouch for everyone, but our forums are mostly idiot-free. Most of the people I've seen who play this game from SA are pretty swell and are above deconning structures and ruining the game for other people.

I know for a fact though that griefers frequently pose as other players when they want to stir up drama. Who knows though, maybe we do have a few bad apples. V :-? V

So I googled tremulous (after quite a few spelling errors :oops: ) and found it... And trust me, whoever made that map totaly nerfed it... I mean, it has an extra back room in the base and no tunnel from base to base. Plus he made it so much bigger than it should be...
